Students compare and contrast photosynthesis and chemosynthesis as sources of primary production for biological communities, and describe sources of primary production observed in biological communities associated with volcanoes of the...
Curated OER
What's the Difference?
Students discover how volcanic processes differ at convergent and divergent tectonic plate boundaries. They identify three geologic features that are associated with most volcanoes on Earth.
Curated OER
Monsters of the Deep
Students describe major features of cold seep communities and list the organisms that are typical in these communities. In this deep sea environment lesson students work in groups and research their given cold seep group.
Curated OER
One Tough Worm
Students explain the process of chemosynthesis and its relevance to biological communities. In this investigative lesson students discuss chemosynthetic communities, then in groups they are assigned a species and are to calculate the gas...

Let's Go Fishing
In this fishing activity, students study facts about fish and then answer short answer questions. Students answer 25 short answer questions.
Curated OER
The Puzzle of the Ice Age Americans
Young scholars describe alternative theories for how the first humans cane to America. In this human origin lesson students study the origins of the first Americans.
Curated OER
Breaking Away (Or Not...)
Students compare and contrast common reproductive strategies used by benthic invertebrates. They describe the most common reproductive strategies among benthic invertebrates on a seamount, and explain why these strategi
Curated OER
Where's My Bot?
Young scholars estimate geographic position based on speed and air travel. In GPS lesson students use GPS to estimate the set and drift of currents.
Curated OER
Ancient Hunters of the Great Lakes
Students describe theories on how the first humans came to America and show the evidence that supports it. For this investigative lesson students study given material and prepare written or oral reports in their groups.
Curated OER
Titanic: Looking for Clues
Young scholars make inferences about a shipwreck based on the location of artifacts. They role play as marine archaeologists and list three processes that contribute to the deterioration of the Titanic.
Curated OER
Easy as Pi
Learners describe the importance of structural features that increase surface area in a coral reef habitat. In this investigative lesson plan students quantify the impact of modifications on surface area in model habitats.
Curated OER
Quake Clues
Learners study earthquakes and how sediment accumulations are used for past information on earthquakes. For this earthquake lesson students interpret sediment cores and describe turbidites.
Curated OER
The Chemosynthetic Cafe
Students study photosynthesis and chemosynthesis. In this chemosynthetic lesson students explain the processes of these and define terms.
Curated OER
Who Has the Light?
Learners study ways in which the ability to produce light may be useful to deep-sea organisms. In groups, they research and present to the rest of the class, how a specific organism is able to produce bioluminescence.
Curated OER
Blinded by the Light
Students recognize that the colors they see are a result of the reflection of light. In this light and color lesson, students predict what color will be produced when lights are mixed. They identify the three primary colors and secondary...
Curated OER
It's a Gas! Or is it?
Pupils describe the effects of temperature and pressure on solubility of gases and other materials. For this investigative lesson students read an article and answer questions about it.
Curated OER
Where There's Smoke......
Students use fundamental relationships between melting points, boiling points, solubility, temperature and pressure to develop explanations. In this chemistry lesson students complete an activity.
Curated OER
What's Down There?
Pupils analyze data on coral reefs and use this to help characterize reefs. In this mapping coral reefs lesson students identify and explain the major threats to coral reefs.
Curated OER
A Hydrothermal Adventure
Students analyze hydrothermal vents. In this hydrothermal vents lesson plan, students discover the effects of hydrothermal vents on tectonic plates. Students make model hydrothermal vents to understand how they form and operate.
Curated OER
Your Expedition of Discovery
Students study GPS and see how it is used to determine points on the Earths surface. In this expedition lesson students use GPS to find given coordinates.
Curated OER
Picture This!
Students compare and contrast different types of light on the electromagnetic spectrum. In this investigative instructional activity students create a photographic image that demonstrates the infrared, ultraviolet and polarization...
